Donald Trump the Megathread part II - mod warnings in OP, Updated 18/03/25

Obviously that meeting is big news here but so think we are being a bit dramatic about it. It will pass and be forgotten in 24 hours such is the hyper Trump news cycle.

And he’ll blame Biden and MAGA will lap it up

Sanders lost the popular vote in the Democratic primaries, never mind the superdelegates. It's worth remembering that it wasn't Obama's 'turn' in 2008. It was supposed to be Hillary Clinton's. But Obama was popular enough and canny enough to overcome the obstacles against him. It's something Sanders couldn't quite manage.

I don't think MM will be treated like a gobshite and I am sure MM will play safe. He might be subject to indifference perhaps or a little slagging but it will be over before you know it and the world will keep spinning.

Red red as far as the eye over US stock markets can see

Somehow it’s even worse today

But hey I’m sure trump supporters would say this carnage is normal

Some will tell you this is all part of his master plan though, the real genius needs to be seen yet…

He will. trump will harp on about taxes and how Ireland has lost it's good Catholic ways by going woke and banning a teacher for is beliefs (I know. Don't worry. I know it's wrong). Will call him an antisemite. He will definitely make a show if him. We will know that it's typical trump lies and half-truths (at best). But fox will lap it up.

So don't be surprised, folks. He doesn't need the Irish American vote. The GQP does not WANT the Irish American vote going forward. As a matter of fact, they will make people feel ashamed of their "woke" European family tree. REAL 'muricans are from MURICA! Anybody who claims European roots are woke antisemites who hate Murica

The effort required to stop yourself from knocking him out cold.

If the Burkes turn up, they should have their passports taken away so they can't come back.

I reckon he'll bring up that we've given Rosie O'Donnell asylum.

It seems, if what Rubio and his fellow US diplomat are saying is true, and the TV news is correct, that Ukraine has agreed to a ceasefire [30 days] on the basis of no air or ground war and a resumption of the previous information flow between the US and Ukraine. The US has sent/is sending the proposals to Russia and are waiting for its response to the Riyadh Peace deal proposals. The ball seems to be in Moscow's court now.

It'll be up to Trump to ensure Moscow agrees with the deal and does not try some trick to get Ukraine accused of a provocation and sunder Trump's chance of being a peacemaker worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Ontario has suspended the tariff on electricity pending a meeting on Thursday.

Trump buckles AGAIN!!!!

Collapsing? It went from $1.45 to $1.44 v US dollar in that chart, no?

US General Ben Hodges - Commander US Army Europe 2014-2018

Here’s what he said on Channel 4 News this evening:

“The mask is off- there’s no longer any pretence that the administration has sided with Russia.”

“I never in my life imagined a scenario where the US would in any way be cooperating or on the side of Russia against another European country”

“We’re throwing away 80 years of hard work with like minded countries who value democracy and human rights”

This man was a lieutenant in West Germany in 1981- he knows his onions- well said sir.
